'''Move mastery''' (Japanese: '''技の皆伝''' ''move mastery'') is the signature mechanic in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], allowing a Pokémon to use a [[move]] in the '''agile style''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|早業|ハヤワザ}}''' ''Swift Move'') or '''strong style''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|力業|チカラワザ}}''' ''Force Move''). Using the agile style reduces a move's power and effects, but increases the user's [[action speed]], allowing it to execute a subsequent move sooner. Using the strong style increases a move's power, effects, and accuracy, but decreases the user's action speed, causing the user to move later in subsequent turns. Using either style also costs 2 [[PP]]; this works by deducting an additional PP from the move after it is selected, meaning that a move with 1 PP remaining can be used in either style.

If a Pokémon can learn a move by [[level]]ing up, then it can also master that move by leveling up. [[Zisu]], at the Training Grounds, can also help a Pokémon master a move in exchange for a [[Seed of Mastery]], including moves she serves as a Move Tutor for (which cannot be mastered any other way). In the wild, [[alpha Pokémon]] may come with one of these Move Tutor moves already in its moveset, in which case this move will already be mastered. Mastered moves are indicated by a [[File:Move Master icon.png|20px]] icon on the summary and move selection screens.

The moves {{m|Teleport}}, {{m|Mimic}}, {{m|Splash}}, and {{m|Struggle}} can never be mastered. [[Rotom]] cannot master the special moves associated with its appliance forms.

===Moves that evolve the Pokémon===
A couple of Pokémon evolve into another by using a certain style of its [[signature move]] at least 20 times. They are as follows:
{| class="sortable roundy" style="margin:auto; background: #ddf; border: 5px solid #ccf; margin-bottom:2rem;"
|-

{| border=1 width="100%" class="sortable roundy" style="margin:auto; background: #FFF; border:1px solid #ddf; border-collapse:collapse; text-align:center;"
|- style="background: #ddf; text-align:center;"
